Big Z

If Reed leaves I doubt he gets attacked like all the other players that leave.

Choosing to go to the NBA as a lottery pick is quite a bit different from choosing another school to transfer to.

Sprayed a little Arkansas red on his face lol

Someone needs to lighten up on that red filter.

Maybe Cal is Native Am. Who knew??

Has to be hard for the guy, His best bud on the team just went off dot the i in The Columbus. He is close with Chuck Martin. Also, no doubt Mrs. Cal (who is awesome) helped him feel like he has a family in the states (brownies go a long way!).

However, it was the UK administration that fought hard to get him cleared (Cal just tried to sway the NCAA with public statements) and the fans who put up a "Free Big-Z" billboard and who cheered the guy anytime he entered the game.

Got to be tough to choose between two loves!

Hell, I will make him some brownies , were they "special" brownies?

Man that is intense. Looks like an extra from the Sopranos.

 

[Jakerz]

The one thing cal is good at. Puking out sources to the media so he can control the narrative

 

[GoBIG BLUE]

I keep reading on X that he has 'committed' to ark? Like lotsa people. Must have some truth behind it?
EDIT: well shoot, i found the attachment earlier in this post thet shows Matt Jones saying hes gone to ark. That stinks!

News flash, he doesn’t care.

News flash, I did not say he did.

Looks like he’s headed to Arkansas

Tbf there were over 20 crystal ball picks on this forum already. No surprise here, just as for the rest of Cal's guys.

The news and the surprise would be them choosing UK.

It's almost like some people don't know how this whole thing works.

 

[kywildcat41086]

Waiting for Cow to flip a bird too...

Yep what would even be funnier is if he gets ejected from the game….🤣🤣

 

[Mike-McD]

Stuff like this is why many think our fan base is Kooky, and they would be right

Basically, Z gave the bird to those fans who paid for the billboard. Not "kooky" at all.

Yeah I’m kind of shocked people are surprised by this . He immediately followed Arkansas account when Cal left . I figured it was over then .

 

[LukaszObrzut]

So instead, he follows him to Arkansas ? That makes ZERO sense.

Cal needs him at Arkansas.

Hell.. if they weren't, my wife will make him some special ones.. they'll make him talk to the animals. Hell, he might find them useful in Arkansas. Sooeey!

He 100% knew he was Arkansas bound. The fact he acted and posted stuff like #family, pictures of him practicing here the night before, and meeting with Pope. That is what ticks me off. He had no intention of staying no matter how that meeting left. Spare me the I love BBN and Kentucky BS.

 

[travisbickle]

Not enough people are talking about how insane Cal looked in that picture.

He looked like a contestant on Naked and Afraid XL where they’re on a tropical island and it’s day 38.

Cal needs him at Arkansas.

We should call him Big Z ERO.

He's a clown, didn't really seem all that interested in competing for time or too bothered by mistakes. Probably met with Pope just so he can get some clout when he runs back to Calipari and the team about the meeting.

 

[Dirt Court King]

Would surprise me. It wasn't Cal putting up billboards to get him cleared but it was Cal utilizing him poorly in all but a few games. Well the ones where he got any minutes at all...

Just shows his loyalty to the Kentucky name!!

OK, why did you say "If Cal was still here, he would have went to the draft?" Obviously that is / was not the case. If so, he wouldn't have followed him to Arkansas. Meaning that he would not have went pro because of Cal, he followed Cal. And to your other point "Cal need him at Arkansas", you do not think Pope needed him at UK ? It is simple, he followed the coach who got him to the US and qualified to play in the US.

 

[sosoblue]

Disappointed he left probably his handlers/agents or whatever told him he has to follow Cal.

I also think Ivisic would have went to the draft if Calipari were still at UK. One, that was the culture here. Cal had all these young players at UK that were going to play - Fland, Knox, Quaintance - maybe Wagner, so at UK he would have probably went old in the portal. Cal has talked him into it coming to Arkansas because he needs him at Arkansas now. JMO.

 

[meteordealer]

Hope he enjoys sitting on the bench at Arkansas being mishandled by Cal for another year. Plus he isn't a good fit for Cal's system.

The kid would be a star, and a lottery pick, if he played in Pope's system.

Bc Cal had players already inked on the line for Kentucky- he doesn’t have jack shit at Arkansas. You see how that could be different? Chill
